Some homes just give you this almost movie like feeling right at the elevator. This Art Deco penthouse at 1 W Century Dr in Los Angeles does exactly that. Doors open straight into your own home and there is something about stepping out into all that space after you have come up in total quiet. You get a moment where you want to just stand still and take a breath. It is the kind of place that does that to you. The city looks a little smaller from up here but never less alive. I spent some extra time wandering around these seven rooms because it was hard not to notice all the little bits of detail everywhere. Everywhere you turn you find something a bit rare. I ran my hand across materials I have not seen used much before. Someone spent years making each element just so here. The penthouse feels like it belongs to the old world but also feels young at heart. It is the kind of home where you might half expect music from the 1930s drifting through but at the same time you can see yourself just kicking off your shoes and streaming your playlist in the evening while the city lights up outside the windows. The terraces outside wrap you in peace even though you are right above Los Angeles. There is close to 600 square feet of space to just step outside and remember you are living high above one of the world's busiest cities. You can lazy around with coffee and watch the sun come up or host friends at night when the air is full of energy. The skyline is your backdrop. Sometimes you just want to close your eyes and just listen to how quiet it can get when you are up this high. You get a sense of being right in the city but also well above it all. The living spaces have this way of drawing you in and you will probably find yourself leaning on the kitchen island or pausing by the windows more than you expected. The kitchen really does feel like somewhere you might want to cook something proper for your friends and not just show off shiny counters. Light pours in most times of day and you always have some little corner for a quiet breakfast or a late dinner. The architect really thought about how rooms can just flow into each other and nothing feels boxed in. What I like most is how the penthouse does luxury in a way that is not cold or too clean. There is elegance and you get a sense of proper Los Angeles living here but you also feel you can flop on the sofa and not worry about a thing. California warmth sneaks in even through all the art deco shapes and classic touches. It just feels comfortable. You get space and height and the kind of privacy you cannot find in many other homes. You forget about the world a little. Security and privacy are serious here and you barely notice neighbours. The lobby downstairs is all quiet and understated. Sometimes you see families heading out for the weekend or someone sipping a takeaway coffee on the steps while cars pass. Everything in Los Angeles feels close when you are up here though. Restaurants are a short drive. The best shops are easy. And the ocean is just far enough that you catch that salty air on certain evenings. Honestly though I think you only really get it after walking through. There are details photos cannot really show and a mood that slow builds as you take it all in. If you have questions or even want to just see how it fits you let me know. We are always here at LuxuryProperty dot com to help make your move in Los Angeles feel as easy as it should. Come by sometime and see what I mean. &nbsp;

2-Bedroom Penthouse for Sale in 1 W Century Dr, California, United States

Some homes just have their own kind of quiet confidence. The Wilshire House Penthouse East in Los Angeles truly does. The first time I came up in the private elevator and the doors opened right onto the marble entryway, I honestly stopped in my tracks. There is no rush in this place, nothing that feels overdone or showy. Everything just sort of flows. The gallery entry is where it really starts. Sometimes you can hear your footsteps echo a little on the marble if you arrive alone. That long entrance leads into the main living rooms and right away you get a sense of how open everything is. The formal living room has these tall ceilings that just make it easy to breathe. You will find that even the den tucked to one side feels a bit cozy with its custom shelving and a proper fireplace that you can actually imagine having on during a cool evening. One thing you will notice right away is all the light. There are floor to ceiling glass doors just wrapping around the living spaces and honestly it is hard not to walk right out onto the terraces. People always talk about views in LA but this one really changes all day. Mornings are full of sun coming in over the city. By late afternoon, you might catch a bit of mist over the mountains. Sometimes, if the sky is clear, the blue of the Pacific actually looks unreal. The wraparound terrace is not just for show. I stood by the edge for a while, just watching the city move far below. You get every angle from up here and it makes the penthouse feel like its own secret spot above all the noise. There is a classic spiral staircase with a skylight that just catches the light perfectly most of the afternoon. If you head up, you will find not one but two rooftop terraces. I can just picture evenings out there, maybe a few friends over, just easy laughter and the city lights stretching all the way out. Sometimes the simplest things like a chair and a quiet moment with the view are the best part. The kitchen surprised me a bit. Usually these big spaces feel cold but here you get black and white marble flooring that is honestly a little retro and kind of fun. There is a big marble island in the middle that just begs for someone to actually cook, not just order in. You have all the top appliances, more storage than you probably need and even a butler&#039;s pantry tucked around the corner. The dining room is formal but never stiff. High ceilings and its own terrace make it feel like a place where stories get told at the table and some meals run long because nobody wants to leave. The main suite is tucked away from the rest. When you open the doors you notice it almost has its own rhythm. There is a cozy fireplace plus the kind of bathroom you barely see outside five star hotels. There are two bathroom suites actually, one even has a soaking tub that looks like an invitation after a busy week. There is direct access to the terrace from here too, so mornings can be ridiculously peaceful. The closet feels like it could hold pretty much anything. Other bedrooms are just as private. The upper level guest room honestly feels like its own apartment up there with its own terrace so if friends or family visit, they have real space to settle in. You get everything you might hope for in penthouse living in Los Angeles California. The Wilshire House has 24 hour valet, concierge, a full fitness center, stream and massage rooms plus a banquet space for bigger gatherings. The pool downstairs is calm and usually has just a handful of folks enjoying the sun. There is an ease to life here that does not show up everywhere. You do not have to decide right now if it fits you. The best way to really feel it is to come by and have a walk through. Bring a coffee. Ask questions. Take your time. At LuxuryProperty.com, we always want your next move to feel as comfortable as possible. If you want to know more or just want a tour, reach out anytime. Sometimes these places just feel right.
